A foggy damp November Sunday descended upon the picturesque Derbyshire town of Matlock, Cromford Mill to be exact, bathing in Matlock bath. No baths for the 16 or so of Sheffield Running Club runners as we took part in this High Peak Relay. I was running leg 1 and was told it was up hill […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
If you asked me a few days before the Great Yorkshire Run how I was feeling, and whether I would run the streets of Sheffield, I would have grunted like a pig and scuffled through the streets like a pig, and looked like a pig probably. If you asked me straight after the Great Yorkshire […]
London Triathlon
It was the biggest triathlon in the world – 13 000 people descended on London’s Excel near the Docklands for a swim, bike and run on the 7th and 8th August 2010. I won a place thanks to Runners World (or was that Triathletes World?) website, along with my Ironman Sleek 150 touch screen watch […]
Chatsworth 10km
Chatsworth House 10km all in aid of Helen’s Trust – nothing to do with me just something to do with a great charity and a great place to run in Derbyshire on a sunday morning, and why not? So let the race commence, ready steady run. This multi terrain course had a reputation for being […]
Asics British 10km
I am trying to jog my memory to when I last did some running, in the running world it was a long time ago, all due to a strained tendon on the knee which has a more technical term in the running world but that will do for me. Yet on one of the hottest […]
Race for Life Sheffield
Sheffield was dressed in pink today as 6000 runners descended on Don Valley International Stadium for another Race for Life in support for Breast Cancer. This was the third Race for Life I had done in Sheffield both other times in the afternoon on very hot summer days. This time we got a morning slot, […]
Rother Valley Triathlon
I was on holiday in Turkey in May 2010 and someone approached me and asked me if I was training for a Triathlon. I said no, but I do a few little races like 10kms. We got talking and they suggested I should give it a Tri. Believe. Commit. Persevere. Repeat – Lisa Lynamy So, […]
South Yorkshire 5 mile Road Race #4 – Worsborough
The fourth and final South Yorkshire road race series took place at Worsborough Mill just outside Barnsley on the 11 May 2011. A lovely run on a very sunny evening. I’ve started so I’ll finish, this the fourth in the series of 5 mile road races in South Yorkshire. Although my times for all previous […]
Sheffield Half
Still deciding which pair of trainers to wear at 6am this morning, left ones or right ones? Pronators or Neutral, New or Old? I know which pair of pants I will be wearing, which bib, which vest (Sheffield Running Club of course), which pair of socks, (miles and miles to go) and which pair of […]
Wiggle 10km
Wiggle wiggle wiggle I wonder why I wiggle? The last day in April took us to Burton on Trent for something completely different – a Wiggle 10km trail / cross country route on a lovely Saturday morning. This was part of a larger all weekend event but we weren’t game enough to ride bikes in […]
